That day brought the United States into WWII, adding the strength and determination of the American people to the Allied arsenal as it struggled to defeat the Axis. Through this special, live webinar, students will explore Japanese and American motivations and actions through maps, primary sources, and artifacts from the Museum’s Pearl Harbor exhibit. Students will also encounter stories of survivors and pay tribute to the lives that were lost. Students will be able to submit questions during the presentation and teachers will receive classroom materials supplement the information presented. Appropriate for students in grades 5 – 12.

The National WWII Museum tells the story of the American Experience in the war that changed the world - why it was fought, how it was won, and what it means today - so that all generations will understand the price of freedom and be inspired by what they learn.
